Skully Boy

Ok....Here he is....Skully Boy!


He is a 7 page upcycled album, with tons of upcycled embellies (in this kit i will paint all the embellies that are NOT solid black so that you can replicate my book easier. I used several colors of spray paint to create lots of depth and texture on the front cover...kinda has an urban grunge feel. All the pages are pre-die cut for you so that it is easy to assemble.

I am sooooo addicted to skully goodness...I had to make a class using some of my favorites. This sweet upcycled cardboard book is 8 pages filled with tons of bling, cardboard embellies, cool brads, and fabu papers, including pink leopard papers from  my ROCKIN baby collection and flocked paper from my Amore collection....You know me I love to mix it up! It is finished off with some french ribbon, velvet ribbon and faux suede ribbon....the textures of these are delicious!

Teaching at Memory Mania in August!!!!!

Miss Tammy Murphy has a great store called Memory Mania. I taught there earlier this year and was treated to some of the yummiest cajun food and the sweetest hospitality ever! Tammy is one passionate store owner with great out of the box ideas and events. Not to mention she has more energy than I do.... I created this T-Shirt Graphic for her store to use in one of her upcoming events. I think Jr Campers is one of them....Check out her blog here

This is Like Christmas!

I am sooo excited to announce my newest license, laptop covers by Lapcoverz.

 A little blurb from the Manufacturer
LapCovers will not stretch, tear or break!  Our designer Coverz are made with a high-quality protective coating that adds depth and shine, but also offers a protective barrier to the lid of the laptop.  LapCoverz do not lose their shape during the application or removal process, so you can rest assured that it will always fit properly.

Creative Escape

I got a phone call, asking if I would be interested in teaching at Creative Escape.Umm Yeah! Sounds like a blast to me. Making my class sample this weekend....it is going to be ROCKIN! 

I wrote a new Bio yesterday for the Creative Escape website....it is soooo hard to talk about myself. Much harder than teaching, designing classes or making art. So go easy on me.
